Chapter 10

Author: Fawnedel
The hall was crowded with reporters swarming around Dean, questions firing off one after another.

“Mr. Parker, since you knew the Cartwright family was innocent, why did you help Miss Bennett organize that press conference to clear their name in the first place?”

“What is the truth behind Ms. Cartwright’s death? Will her name ever be cleared?”

Dean didn’t respond, and at that moment, the System’s voice suddenly changed.

    Outside the window, the collapse of the world intensified. Skyscrapers fell one after another. The ground split open with massive cracks, where rivers of molten lava gushed out, staining half the sky a burning red. The wind howled violently. Rain poured down in sheets. Hailstones crashed against everything in sight. The entire world was shaking and falling apart.The cries of people grew fainter and fainter until they eventually disappeared completely. Those who had slandered me, those who had hurt me, and those who had once mocked me had all turned to dust in this disaster.Inside the hospital room, the protective barrier had vanished. The storm outside swept in, carrying debris and scorching heat from the lava, and blew Dean’s hair into a mess. He was still holding my hand tightly, but his body was becoming increasingly transparent, as if he could vanish at any moment.System: [Vitality sacrifice still in progress! Host’s vitality lost: 100%. Soul disintegration countdown initiate

    The ground shook, and the glass outside the protective barrier shattered instantly. Fierce winds rushed in, carrying gravel and hailstones that slammed into the walls with deafening force. In the distance, skyscrapers collapsed one after another, sending massive clouds of dust into the sky. It looked like the end of the world had finally arrived.People ran in every direction. Some were struck by falling debris, others were buried beneath collapsing structures, and many were trampled in the chaos. The entire city had descended into what felt like hell on earth.System: [World Self-Destruction Countdown: 9 hours, 58 minutes, 2 seconds.][World collapse is accelerating!

    With the System’s warning echoing in Dean’s mind, he headed straight for the press conference on the top floor of the Cartwright Group headquarters.The entire rooftop hall was brightly lit, and cameras were already set up in rows. Somehow, Claire had broken free from the bodyguards restraining her. She stood on stage with one hand supporting her lower back and wept as she faced the cameras, claiming that after my death, Dean had suffered a mental breakdown and refused to transfer the Cartwright family assets as promised. She even accused him of slandering the Bennett family.The crowd below buzzed instantly. Some sympathized with Claire. Others questioned Dean’s mental state. However, what no one realized was that Dean had been standing at the entrance.“Claire, are you done yet?”Everyone turned to look at Dean, who was radiating a commanding presence. He held a stack of documents in his hand and walked toward the stage. Claire’s expression changed instantly. She instinctively st

    Seeing this, Claire secretly felt delighted. She assumed Dean had gone mentally unstable from the grief of losing me, and if that were the case, it would only make Cartwright Group easier for her to control. Still, she worried Dean’s worsening condition would eventually affect the company’s operations. What if the company collapsed before she could get her hands on its assets?After thinking it over, she secretly contacted what remained of the Bennett family’s connections. Behind Dean’s back, she arranged for people to transfer Cartwright Group’s liquid funds and copy confidential core technology files, hoping to seize control of the company in advance. That way, even if Dean lost his mind one day, she could secure her position as Mrs. Parker and live off the company’s wealth forever.What she didn’t know was that her little schemes had long been spotted by the spies Dean had planted within Cartwright Group. Before long, the evidence was delivered to Dean. The moment Dean saw the fil

    A violent storm suddenly swept through the western side of the city. At both the hospital and the Cartwright Group headquarters, the electrical systems began malfunctioning over and over again. The wiring was brand new, yet the power would short-circuit out of the blue. Entire buildings would fall into darkness before the electricity was restored minutes later.Dean knew exactly what it meant. These were the signs of the world collapsing, and every time another abnormal event appeared, the System’s warning became more frantic.System: [World Self-Destruction Countdown: 15 hours, 12 minutes remaining.][Dimensional energy instability detected. Anomalies will continue to intensify.]The anxiety eating away at Dean grew worse with every passing hour. At night, he could barely close his eyes. He stayed beside my bed in the ICU the entire time, holding my ice-cold hand while repeating the promises he had once made to me when we were young.“Sophia, do you remember? When we were kids in
